with Sir Morell Mackenzie on the condition Of

directed tho treatment Of the distinguished

target for sharp criticism from German spe-

Whitney a report bristling with destructive
criticisms of the vessel, and overloaded with
suggestions for rebuilding and remodeiling her.
He understands the market to which his wares

that any vessel built under Republican Ad-

THE PRESIDENCY IN FRANCE.

President Grevy describes the political de-
monstrations made against him as unconstitu-
tional. Impeachment is provided for In the
Constitution Of 1875. and members OF the lower
Chamber have deliberately proposed this ex-
trcme course, although it is doubtful If they
can induce majority of the Deputies to sane
tion it. There is no other constitutional method
of cxpelling him from the Elysee short OF abol-
ishing the of6ce-a policy favored by at least
one third of the Chamber yesterday. He may
be tried for breaches of public trust, the Senate
being constituted as a court Of impeachment; !;
but since the worst that can be said against
him is his connection by marriage with NJ
Wilson, proceedings of this nature are improb-
able. He can remain President if he chooses
to abandon his disgraccd son-in-law. A direct
vote by the Chambers implying want OF con-
fjdcnce in the President will not OF necessity
involve resignation. The Presidential office
by the WALTON Constitution was released from
dependence upon the action of the Legislature.
Ministries are at the mercy Of the Deputies but
| the President, if he commits no offences worhy
| of Impeachment can remain at the Elysee, un'
moved by political agitation or public clamor'
until his term expires.
| Before the Constitution was adopted. the
absolute supremacy of the Deputies was the
| unwritten law. "You only are sovereign

| own Premier, and he resigned his Office when
| there was a majority against him. His sue
ccssor in like manner abandoned the Office when
he found that he had appealed to the country
| in vain against the Deputies, although by the
letter of the Constitution he could have re-
n1ained in power unmoAestcd NJ. Grevy will
have to establish new precedent, il he with
holds his resignation when it is called for by
| majority Of the Chamber but it will be prece-
dent for which there is direct warrant in the
Constitution. NJ. Grevy is not, however, the
man to defy the authority of the Deputies. He
has always advocated the principle that the will
of tho Deputies is the supreme law for Presi-
dent. Premier, Ministers and people.
The consultation held yesterday between the
President and Nj. Clcmenceau shows that strong
efforts are making to effect compromise by
which the Government may be conducted with
tut Presidential election. Last May tho
President refused to send for M. Clemenceau
and declared war upon General Boulanger. Now
